Salford Uni AI Blind Date

Connect with a new Salford Uni student each week. Get to know each other for a few days and then when the photos are revealed you can make the big decision.

Ever walked around your faculty or sat in a lecture theatre and thought about how many cute students there are who youd love to get an introduction to? Girl, we got you. We made this app for Salford Uni students who want to meet the person who is right for them - or just meet a different cutie every week. We all love swiping but sometimes its just a bit much. Slow down and let us pick your date for you.

Our AI matching system uses 3 different types of AI functions to find you a person whos right for you. The more matches you have, the better your matches should get. You can chat with Mari, our in-app AI non-binary fairy godmothem, and let them know what youre looking for, who you liked, and who you didnt like and why. We try to analyse these conversations to improve your future matches.

When you download the app, youll have to upload 5 photos and choose your gender and any genders you want included in your preferences. After this, Mari will try to force you to answer a whole bunch of questions. Please answer these so that you complete your onboarding. Some of the questions may seem silly but they are all important. Vital, even.

What do we ask in return?

The app will ask you to turn on notifications so you can know when other users have messaged you. You only get matched with one person each week so you shouldnt be flooded with messages. We want to create a calmer, slower, and more chill dating experience.

The app will also ask you for your location. This helps us try to localise to the university but it isnt used right now to shape who youre matched with.

While the app uses AI to help get you good matches, the systems are linked up so that information cant spill out. If you tell something to Mari, it cant reveal that information to another person. Each chat experience is a separate interaction. Information is pulled from the chat to a separate system to help improve matches and information cant flow back in.

If you have any problems or support issues you can first ask Mari in the app and they should be able to help with most situations. If you need a person, you can contact one of the founders at [email protected] and shell try to get back to you as soon as possible.

By signing up through Apple ID you do not give us your email, but we are able to contact you through a proxy address created by Apple if there is anything you need to know about the product or your account.

The app is currently free. But AI is expensive and so are apps generally, so well start building a premium tier soon. Well keep it affordable though.
